P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"Tell me about your current job. All right. My name is Jamie. I'm a marketing associate responsible for our service product line here at Stryker which is a medical device company. So unlike my other counterparts, I actually deal with when a product breaks in a hospital, dealing with the servicing and support of that to our customers. So it's very customer service oriented. I am on the branding side of things, do I deal with branding strategy, how to position ourselves in the marketplace against our competitors, and kind of how we price a premium product. And tell me a little bit about your career path, your educational path. How'd you get here? Sure. I was an undergrad at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for four years. I job hunted for quite a while before landing this job at Stryker which was a learning process all in and of itself. But I was a business major with a marketing concentration, and I dabbled in finance a little bit. But towards the end, realized that numbers were not my passion and that I really-- I love being creative, I love having kind of like a long-term vision for things. And so marketing really fit my specialty. And what do you wish you knew when you started your career that you know now? What do I wish I knew? No one is going to make your career path for you. And it's really up to you to make it happen. So network as much as possible. Get out of your comfort zone as much as possible because you aren't going to get anywhere without having a few pain points, overcoming a few obstacles, and just really being a go-getter and kind of being a tiger, I guess you could say.
